GOING: G

Race 5 1600m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting plenty of speed from Iron Bible, Turbo S and M T King from Revive Maillard. IRON BIBLE (5) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the corner at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $2.70. Nicely placed to bounce back. NOAH SANSAN (3) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 1.5 lengths into third over 1600m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. M T KING (4) is yet to break through in 11 runs. Finished fourth after being prominent at the corner at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 27. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. POMPELMO (9) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1600m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again.
